GLP-1and heart arrhythmia

Did you procure your Zepbound online or do you have a Dr you see and they provided the prescription? If it was the first you should be able to reach out to them for medical consultation because they approved your use of it. If the latter I would consult your physician. We are all so very different when it comes to treatments even if someone had a very similar experience, symptoms and issues their remedies wouldn’t necessarily yield the same results for you. Let us know what you find out.

Thanks. I am getting Zepbound through my doctor for sleep apnea. Just wondering if anyone else has had these issue while on GLP-1 meds. I have an appointment with my doctor in 2 weeks.

I been on Wegovy for a year and a half . My PCP told me I had to lose weight. Lost close to 60 lbs . I also have sleep apnea ,ten years . Been using sleep machine for 10 years . Been snoring and chocking since I was a kid ,so who know what damage I’ve accumulated over those years I’m 73 just for reference. But I do sleep better and my sleep numbers have gone way down since losing the weight.
But last July I fell down a flight of stairs at my daughter’s house .Fractured C1. Moved C2 ,broke both wrist ,had to have surgery on the right wrist and ended up at Penn University Hospital for spinal fusion 0 thru C4 During the 5 hour surgery they discovered I was having Afib Came out of surgery with a great outcome Neck has healed well ,no pain . Not much range of motion but considering most are either dead or crippled with similar injuries. , I consider myself lucky . There was no apparent spinal nerve damage but ever since I’ve been dealing with Afib PVC’s PAC’s tachycardia,couplets ,triplets and other heart issues Now seeing an electrophysiologist taking meds and tests . I don’t have a good sense about what’s going on Been doing lots of research and I’m hoping to get on the other side of these heart issues Don’t know if that helps .

yes my dr approved Zepbound ,most drs unless they are maybe endocrinologists dont know all about the drugs they are fairly new.I have sleep apnea

I been on Wegovy almost 2 years and lost 55 lbs. Have had severe sleep apnea probably all my life , chocking since I was a kid . Who knows the damage done all those years Ten years now on CPAP My numbers have improved so much since loosing the weight I sleep better less stops and sleep longer and deeper. I think your on the right track with Zepbound I done some research and there is no clear evidence that the new meds for weight loss cause Afib Losing wiegjt help sleep apnea and afib

thanks think i need to get this 2nd ablation first and then heal and go from there

Wish you the best with your ablation . Good luck with Zepbound .

I been on Wegovy for 2 years , same medication, different name . Lost 55 lbs ,and kept it off Although Zepbound seems to be what doctors are prescribing . I wish you the best with your new med . Everyone I’d different and it’s impossible to predict how your body and mind will react to a new med. But I can tell you losing weight is probably the single most important thing you can do for yourself . And these new meds can help Again the best for you .

My heart rhythm issues seem to have resolved after a few days. I have not had any more of the SVEs. Supposedly those can be caused by stress or anxiety so it may have been that as a dear friend recently passed away unexpectedly. I am moving up to 7.5 mg Zepbound, which is the one Medicare covers for sleep apnea, and so far so good. Thank you all for your comments.
